Summary
Summary
Two-time PEN/Faulkner Award nominee Claire Messud is hailed as “a writer of enormous skill and stylistic grace” by Publishers Weekly. This wonderfully crafted comedy of manners was called a “stinging portrait of life among Manhattan’s junior glitterati” in a starred review by Kirkus Reviews.
Friends at Brown University, Marina, Danielle, and Julius are still looking to make their marks as they approach their 30s. Marina lives with her celebrated parents on the Upper West Side while trying to complete her book. TV producer Danielle’s success is due to the puff pieces she churns out. Freelance critic Julius can barely make ends meet. Into this mix comes Bootie, Marina’s college dropout cousin, who is just the catalyst the three friends need to start making significant changes in their lives.
